Quantum geometry from higher gauge theory

Higher gauge theories play a prominent role in the construction of 4D topological invariants and have been long ago proposed as a tool for 4D quantum gravity. The Yetter lattice model and its continuum counterpart, the BFCG theory, generalize BF theory to 2-gauge groups and-when specialized to 4D an...
